For fabricators who cut 4鈥 x 4鈥 sheet metal and some tube and pipe, this is the laser for you. With the SGU-44 you can cut up to 7/8鈥 mild steel with a 4000kw laser. Mazak鈥檚聽3D laser cutting machines聽offer a flexibility not offered by many other lasers.
Benefits of the SGU-44
- Compact and affordable all-in-one 2D/3D laser center for maximum flexibility
- Laser-cuts stamped, hydroformed and spun pre-formed parts
- Processes any length pipe
Versatile and Flexible the Mazak SGU-44
Mazak鈥檚 SPACE GEAR-U 44 delivers the flexibility to perform (1) high-speed 2D processing of sheet metal and plate, (2) 3D cutting of pre-formed parts and (3) 3D-rotary cutting of tube, pipe and structural. It is ideally suited for fabrication job shops seeking to diversify their markets, parts suppliers supplying hydro-formed or stamped parts and machine shops that are now machining thick plates or tubing.
In rotary mode, the SG-U 44 performs 2D and 3D cutting of tube, including rectangular, round, and triangular pipe as well as C, H, I and L-beams within a 6.0 inch diameter. The 5-axis torch and simultaneously controlled chuck let the SG-U 44 fabricate 鈥 in one operation 鈥 precise angle cuts, weld-prep bevels and advanced contours such as saddle joint cuts. The 64-bit control incorporates illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens to quickly program such complex contours and other cuts.
With its multi-axis torch, the SG-U 44 also laser-cuts stamped, hydroformed and spun pre-formed parts as well as high-speed 2D cuts and bevels in flat material.
With a small footprint, the SG-U 44 can process any length pipe and up to 4鈥檟4鈥檟7/8鈥 sheet.
Mazak鈥檚 Space CAM and FG CAD/CAM software options generate NC code from a 3D CAD drawing, imported or crafted in the system. Space CAM can also generate code for a slot-and-tab workholding fixture.
